I’m super excited to be announced as the winner of the 2025 Manuscript Contest of the Writer’s League of Texas — YA category.
Thank you to @writersleaguetexas.bsky.social and Tamara Kawar for this honor.

I’m super excited to share. I have finished my debut novel at the beginning of the year which is now shortlisted for the Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize. It’s so rewarding to be recognized for a work I spent most of the past five years writing.
Thanks to Leapfrog Press for the trust and appreciation.

… a tickle… She wouldn’t let a tickle steal her hard-won sleep. Siesta time belonged to her. Saoirse had waited all morning, made it through Fit For Survival, entomophagy, and life skills classes. She had earned her time to doze off on the scratchy school carpet.

I just finished writing my first novel,The Fivers, a climate fiction novel for young adults. When Covid started und I had to shut down my business (team building events for creativity & Innovation) I started writing. Five years to learn the craft while navigating unknown territory.
